Veterinarians have been studying the animal's dead body but have so far failed to positively identify it.

Valeriy Dopiryak, the head of the Regional State Laboratory of Veterinary Medicine, said: "This animal resembles an African fox, but its teeth, neck, ears and paws are too long. We can't say what it is."

Another local man, Viktor, claims there was not one chupacabra, but two. He said the other one resembled a kangaroo, with a longer body and shorter front paws, and had run away.
